A flavorful and easy-to-make chicken dish with a crispy parmesan crust and a zesty garlic lemon butter sauce.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the dish.
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
Shake the bag gently to evenly mix the ingredients.
Pour the milk into a shallow dish.
Using a shallow dish makes it easier to coat the chicken evenly.
Dip each chicken breast into the milk, then place it in the bag with the crumb mixture and shake to coat.
Ensure each piece is fully coated for a crispy crust.
Place the coated chicken breasts in a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
Leave some space between the pieces for even cooking.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then stir in the minced garlic and lemon juice.
Cook the garlic just until fragrant to avoid burning.
Pour the garlic lemon butter sauce over the chicken.
Ensure the sauce is evenly distributed over all the chicken pieces.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika over the chicken.
Paprika adds a nice color and a hint of smokiness.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
